Cut two lengths of 20 gauge wire, measuring 8 cm long.
Wrap the wire in to a circle, I wrapped the wire around pritt stick to get the correct shape.
Place pearly beads on the wire, around the loop and wrap the wire ends together at the end.
Cut a length of 24 gauge wire measuring 30 cm wide. Wrap this around one of the wire and bead loops.
Take the second loop and wrap the wire around the top, leaving a small 1 cm gap. Continue to wrap the wire around the loop, weaving in between the beads and leaving 1 cm gaps. You can also add beads on to the wire.
When you reach the end of the loop, wrap around the wire and stick any sharp ends inside the beads.
Cut 4 lengths of 24 gauge wire measuring 8 cm wide. Wrap these at different points on the loop. Place beads on to the wire lengths.
Fold the four wire lengths in to the middle, placing a dangly bead over all four lengths so that it hangs in the middle of the crown. Wrap the wire ends together. Shape the wire and beads in to semi ovals like a crown.
Attach a jump ring on to the bead in the center of the crown, place a long length of chain (measuring about 60 cm wide) through the jump ring.
Attach a jewellery clasp to the ends of the chain.
